## Running the tests
## Command line
The following command can be used to run the tests from the command line:
```bash
swipl -f <exercise>.pl -s <exercise>_tests.plt -g run_tests,halt -t 'halt(1)'
```
Replace `<exercise>` with the name of the exercise you are implementing.
## Interactive
To run prolog interactively first run:
```bash
swipl
```
After the prolog console starts, load your implementation and run the tests
with:
```
?- ["<exercise>.pl"].
?- ["<exercise>_tests.plt"].
?- run_tests.
```
Replace `<exercise>` with the name of the exercise you are implementing.
### Reloading changes
Once the above files are loaded, you can apply any changes you've made
by running:
```
?- make.
```
## Skipped tests
When you first begin an exercise, only the first test will run. The rest have
been skipped by adding `condition(pending)` to the `test` goal. Once the first
test passes, un-skip the next test by changing `pending` in `condition(pending)`
to `true`. Repeat for each test until they are all running and passing.
### Command line
Add the `-- --all` argument to the end of the command to also run any pending tests:
```bash
swipl -f <exercise>.pl -s <exercise>_tests.plt -g run_tests,halt -t 'halt(1)' -- --all
```
## Submitting your solution
You can submit your solution using the `exercism submit wedding_woes.pl` command.
This command will upload your solution to the Exercism website and print the solution page's URL.
It's possible to submit an incomplete solution which allows you to:
- See how others have completed the exercise
- Request help from a mentor
